Question

At what age did you begin putting your child to bed while he was still awake?

I usually wait for my 8 week old son to fall asleep in my arms before putting him in his crib at night. I recently read that putting infants to bed while they are still awake will help them to fall asleep on their own and faster when they wake at night. What are your opinions? I don't want him to "cry it out" every night.
